Make your sophomore year at Kenyon count.

You’re not “new” here anymore. In your second year at Kenyon, explore majors, pursue internships, consider off-campus study, deepen campus involvement and more. The Sophomore Success series is here to help you strengthen your interests, build new skills, and get curious about the road ahead.

See the world through off-campus study.

About half of Kenyon students participate in off-campus study — from international programs abroad to domestic opportunities across the U.S. Students go junior year, but the process starts now. During sophomore year, you’ll explore options, attend info sessions, and start planning your experience beyond Gambier through the Center for Global Engagement.

Turn your curiosity into direction.

Meet with the advising office to explore interests, find direction, and stay on track as you move through your sophomore year and toward graduation.

Sophomore Day

Sophomore Day is an event created just for you. At this crossroads in your college career, get your questions answered and find direction in conversation with academic departments and student support offices. Even if you think you have already connected where you need to, stop by and check out other possibilities.

Build a network. Gain experience.

Sophomore year is the perfect time to connect your interests to real-world opportunities. As a sophomore, use the Career Development Office’s resources to engage your interests, get confidence in your abilities and tap into the vast Kenyon network to land incredible opportunities.

Experience community and get involved.

The Office of Student Engagement, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI), along with Kenyon’s Student Council offer great opportunities to build community and get involved at Kenyon.
